British officials claim that nerve agent Charlie Rowley was released from hospital three weeks after being exposed in Novichok and nearly two weeks after the death of his partner
Dawn Sturgess collapsed at his home in Amesbury last month, where police found a bottle containing the neurotoxic agent of the Soviet era
Lorna Wilkinson, Director of Nursing from Salisbury District Hospital, confirmed that Mr. Rowley had been released. "This is a very important step in his recovery today and we all here at Salisbury Hospital wish him the best for continuing to get better."
"The progress that he has made is testimony to the remarkable clinical team that has worked tirelessly with the support of the excellent back-stage staff."
Ms. Wilkinson has stated that the treatment consisted of decontaminating Mr. Rowley
. She stated:
Ms. Sturgess pbaded away on July 8 and an investigation into a murder was launched. [19659013] The police do not know if there is more Novichok in the area
The police warn that they can not be certain that there are no more sites contaminated.
The source of Mr. Rowley and his partner's poisoning comes from a small bottle found at his home in Amesbury.
More than 100 police searched for the source of Mr. Rowley's and Mrs. Sturgess's exhibition at Amesbury, where they lived, and Salisbury, where the Skripals had been poisoned in March.
The former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in what the investigators had described as an attempt at badbadination.
Last week, it was revealed that investigators had identified, from CCTV video footage, Russian nationals who were suspects in the poisoning of the Skripals.
The Skripals survived and were released from the Salisbury Hospital before Mr. Rowley and Mr. Sturgess were poisoned and taken there
The British authorities took the father and daughter to a secret and protected place.
Great Britain and its allies blamed Russia for attacking the Skripals in March, causing the biggest expulsion of Russian diplomats since the Cold War.
Moscow rejected the accusations and fought back by expelling Western diplomats.
